My dolls! My beautiful dolls!

Growing up an overly sensitive and artistic child in the rural south, I spent many hours making up overly dramatic stories featuring some of my favorite characters from TV and film and acting them out with my imaginary friend(s) and a bevy of toys. Like most young boys of the 1970's, I had all the Star Wars action figures, but in keeping with my budding tastes for all things fabulous, I also had the Bionic Woman Doll, two Wonder Woman dolls and the Barbie and Ken Roller Disco Magic combo. Ken and Barbie were really special with their had sparkle knit tops, short shorts and white roller skates, with red wheels and extended nails on their pinkie fingers (or were those added my sophomore year of college?).

I wonder if I had to do it all over again, right now, if I'd be clamoring for the RuPaul Doll?

Probably.

My dear friend Colleen sent me this link to these Pretty Pretties. I especially like AA Urban Hipster. I assume AA means African American, although it's pretty clear that she's black. I kinda hope it was Alcoholics Anonymous Urban Hipster. No need to go to meetings -- just sit down with your Scary Spice Naomi Campbell doll and start working those steps! As for Princess of Cambodia with a Damaged Box ....well....ummm.....I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
